Dreaming Hidden Dreams

Float down the musical subconscious, spanning White Noise’s “Your Hidden Dreams” from 1968 to M83’s “Hurry Up We’re Dreaming” from 2011. In between, drift down some of the new music in the Echoes soundscape, combining choice oldies by The Rolling Stones, (you KNOW what track it is) and new sounds from Mark Dwane, Sigur Ros and Falling You.

Brazilian Echoes
To look at the world music scene these days, you'd think the only music happening in Brazil is Bossa Nova and Samba. But there's more than the children of Jobim and Gilberto in Brazil. A look beyond the world music charts finds artists creating global fusions, new instruments and even space music.

In this special collection of features, we talk to some of these musicians. Some of them have pretty much moved to America, like Nana Vasconcelos and Airto Moreira. Others still live in Brazil, like Uakti and Fortuna. We also hear from Americans in Brazil, guitarist Pat Metheny and cellist Yo-Yo Ma. Finally, we reprise an Echoes program from 1995 featuring a Brazilian soundscape that traverses the global village and parts of deep space still unknown. Celebrate Carnival this year with a different Brazilian sound!
